Casablanca

Casablanca was made in 1942. It stars Humphrey Bogat as Rick Blaine, who owns a nightclub in Casablanca, discovers his old flame Ilsa (played by Ingrid Bergman) is in town with her husband, Victor Laszlo (played by Paul Henried). Laszlo is a Resistance leader, and with Germans on his tail, Ilsa knows Rick can help them get out of the country - but will he?

The Picture is of Rick and Ilas. from looking at the picture it shows us that the two people are in a very deep conversation. the black and white effect on the image gives it a bolder feel. The way they are dress also shows us that it is set in the 1930s, in comparison to the 1930 movies such as Public Enemy, Little Caesar and 'G' men (too name a few).

Lunchtime Atop A Skyscraper

Lunch Atop a Skyscraper is a famous photograph taken in 1932 by Charles C. Ebbets during construction of the RCA Building at Rockefeller Center. The photograph shows 11 men eating lunch, seated on a girder with their feet dangling hundreds of feet above the New York City streets.

Ebbets took the photo on September 29, 1932, and it appeared in the New York Herald Tribune in its Sunday photo supplement on October 2. Taken on the 69th floor of the GE Building during the last several months of construction, the photograph Men Asleep on a Girder shows the same workers napping on the beam.

The copyright owner of the photograph, the Bettman Archive, did not recognize Charles C. Ebbets as the photographer until October 2003 (reportedly after months of investigation by a private investigation firm). However, authorship of the photograph, popular as a poster, was listed as 'Unknown' on many prints.

Monochrome

Monochrome photography is where the image is produced in one colour or shade of one colour. Monochrome images in a neutral colours are also known as gray scale or black-and-white. Personally I believe these type of effects gives the image a stronger feel.

This is an image i took of an abandoned room. There are four staggered chairs, a table with a hot drinks cup on it. the room is illuminated by the light coming in from the window located behind it. It images seem to focus of the room itself. The image is taken from the aspect of the door, as if you were walking past it and noticed something. It seems as if whoever was in the room was interrupted by something that happened outside the room. One of the chairs is facing towards the window, maybe whoever was sat there may have noticed something outside the window.
